The Return of the Snow JobPosted on Apr 22, 2008
Tony Snow, the pundit who became Bush’s press secretary, but then left because his $168,000 salary didn’t cut it, is returning to cable news. CNN has hired the Fox News veteran to be a conservative talking head.

The last episode of the missing flag pin?
That’s good Leefeller…
The episode didn’t come close to Perry Mason or Columbo, unless we wanted to qualify it as a comic farce/satire.
Still...I like the ring of it...the episode of the missing flag pin.

It does seem to me the White house and CNN may be connected by a path in the snow.
After all ABC has Dupalooupus and Geapeto, and we saw them in action on the last episode of the missing flag pin.
The Mass Media has it’s personal agenda to fulfill and I do not believe it includes providing the truth.

Tony Snow is amazing. No matter where he goes, no matter what he does, no matter who he’s with, he’s generally the only person without a colon, and yet he’s more full of s**t than anyone.

The only lizards I see around are the occasional pet and a few politicians.
Just had a good laugh reading suggestions on how to get rid of lizards [you’ve probably seen them all] Everything from peeing on them, apparently they don’t like that ... could be a bit awkward though. To sucking them up in your vacuum. [then throw vacuum away]
If they’re not eating the bugs, could be they are escaped mutants from that other experiment.
Keep an eye on them!
Or maybe they don’t like what those others don’t like. THE TRUTH. Maybe you could play a few good documentaries in the garden. Like anything by Robert Greenwald, or Michael Moore.
Record ‘democracynow’ and play it over and over again.
I don’t think they know how to cover their ears. Course that may drive a few neighbors away too.
My favorite cure-all for everything is fresh garlic buds. Keeps the cats from pooping in my garden. And one shoved down a fresh mole-hole keeps said mole from coming back.
Hey, it drives away demons and vampires, so it might be worth a try!

I love it! I’d like to get you and my stepfather in a contest. He’s always serious too. (sorta)
Meantime, remember the frogs? They were basically harmless, and actually sort of cute. But, I just discovered the real deal. It wasn’t a frog after all...(that bit me). It was one of their evil cousins. (the lizards) which were tolerable enough last year, because they were new.
NOW the suckers are huge, and starting to piss me off, because they’re still hanging around, doing absolutely nothing to earn their keep. (they don’t even bother to eat the bugs that like to eat the plants).
So, any ideas on how to get rid of these lizard people? Not the ones on CNN, since I don’t allow them into my enviornment. I’m speaking specifically of the ones slithering around my garden.
(I’m serious).

“In the White House, Tony brought a remarkably human touch to the discussion of public policy, which he will continue to do (at CNN),” said CNN U.S. President Jon Klein in a statement Monday.”
***
Remarkable indeed. Since it’s long been suspected that public policy in the White House is being set by croda-tach-manoids.
And what is a croda-tach-manoid? [Petromus-typicus-Saura-Anthropos-memeplexes-fakelos]
In the 1920s Harvard University psychologist William McDougall did experiments for 15 years in which rats learned to escape from a tank. The first generation of rats averaged 200 mistakes before they learned the right way out; the last generation 20 mistakes. McDougall concluded that, contrary to accepted genetic science, such acquired knowledge could be inherited.
In later efforts to duplicate McDougall’s experiments in Australia, similar rats made fewer mistakes right from the start. Later generations of rats did better even when they were not descendents of the earlier rats. This wasn’t genetics at work. It was something else. Nobody tested it further.
That was because what they discovered became classified and was later used in the Roswell experiments to developed a creature with human appearance, the personality of a rat and the indestructible nature of the little grey men.
Somewhere along the way, the lizard was introduced into the experiment, which explains the ability to get away at lightning speed and the flicking tongue.
When some of these critters escaped, it was believed they would perish in the desert. No-one could have imagined that some day they would grow up to become hard right conservatives and politicians.
Now Snow is of a different breed. What has become known as a “talking head.” These are humanoid-like androids who appear to have a brain and body like a total person, but the movement of the face and the speech is actually controlled by a small motor planted at the base of the skull in creation.
Talking heads and croda-tach-manoids have come together over the years in a profitable amalgamation of amoral [absent normal morals] agreement to take and control. We are indeed living in the age of the android, and the rat and lizard people.
And of course CNN and mainstreammedia in general love these fascinating creatures, [although they don’t quite understand what they are] because they can always be counted on to do whatever they are asked, or say whatever they are told, as long as the larger group accepts it wont hurt them.
The one characteristic these critters share is they are absolutely terrified of traps and live-wires! Which is why they work so hard to shape the debate, and avoid x-ray scrutiny.
What’s that you ask?
[sorta]

You can bet he’s going to be pulling down more than that with CNN. As for a job which basicly asks you to be a professional liar while defending the indefensible he brought a more pleasant air to it than either his predecessor or successor.
When you look at those he will likely be compared to...O’Reiley, Hannity, and Beck it will not be hard for him to be the class act of the set.

I am very pleased to hear that Tony is recovering and looks great. It just makes it easier for me to call him a rightwing, pandering, self delusional, liar.
